Here's the beggining. Started the Bill Star/Christopher routine two weeks ago. Have made improvements so far, but started off light to insure good form.

Stats:
Age - 21
Height - 6'0"
Weight - 189lbs
Body Fat - No idea, going to guess 17%???
I've lost about 10-15lbs since February. Started my summer job a little early doing construction/carpentry and the pounds started to shed.

Im very active throughout the day at work, but it depends if we are framing or finishing. Im eating around 3500cals a day, we'll see how that works out for now.

Heres a rough idea of a daily meal during the week.7am
1 cup oatmeal
half cup of egg whites
2 eggs10am
Vector Bar
banana/apple12pm
Tuna sandwiches (4 pieces whole wheat, can of tuna)
apple/banana
another vector bar
Oatmeal and Bran bar.
Going to up it to two cans of tuna I think. Im sick of the vector and bran bars. Sometimes I bring cottage cheese or trail mix. 3pm
If I have food left over and Im hungry, most likely another apple, bran bar or vector bar. Sometimes I'll run and grab some beef jerky or a bag of sun chips.6pm
Protien Shake w/water
Chicken/steak/salmon/pork...
Beans/brocolli/
Salad10pm
Two serving shake w/1%milk, banana, sometimes PB if I need it.

I think I eat pretty healthy, drinking on the weekends never helps though

5x145 Assisted on last 3 Weak numbers, but everything has gone up since last week, can't ask for much more.

Day 2
Shitty workout. Got a serious headrush/headache during my squats and it persisted through the entire workout. I've heard its pretty common and its happened before, but never hung around for longer than a few mins. Probably a breathing thing, combined with being a little tired tonight.

Pushed my Day 3 back from Friday to Sunday because my head was still pounding Thursday/Friday. I was at the lake and used the gym at a nearby hotel/lodge. They used to have a decent weight room but its diminished to just a few dumbbells. It was a decent workout for what it was, but I won't bother posting any numbers. Back at it tomorrow.

My right side is weaker, both in my arms and chest, yet I am right handed. I have a slight scoliosis thanks to my mother. Its hard to see in the pics, but the right shoulder/trap is drastically lower than my left. And I have no idea why my left deltoid looks huge compared to my right

Overall a shitty workout. I was beat today, but didn't want to skip a day. It seems my squat stance is always a bit different. I have to video tape it sooner than later. My back was shot from work and the deadlifts on monday. I don't know what to say about my shoulder press...last week was much better. I think I might stick with the DB's...I use too much back while standing I think.

Good Mornings
8x65
8x135
7x135 I have to lower this, should've done 95 for 8 or something. At this weight I don't feel it in the legs as much and worry Im hurting my back. But they do feel good afterwards.

Woke up with a killer cramp (as soon as I stepped out of bed) felt like I had pulled my quad afterwards, so I skipped the light squats today.

Good Mornings
Warm up 45x10
10x95
10x115
10x135

Shoulder Press

Pull ups Palms facing in
9.5
5
2.5
2.5

Did some pull up using the machine, wide grip palms out with assistance to get more work to the back, felt much better. I think im going to continue with this and maybe add some curls for bicep work.

8, 6, 6 w/80lbs assistance

Not a bad workout, added some crunces too. Got back to the change room and my other leg (calve muscle) cramped up and put me to the ground. Still hurts like a mother...maybe need to up the water intake.

Squats
5x135
5x185
5x205
5x225
4x245
Form is getting worse the last few reps. Im on my toes more, back forward, wondering if its my cross trainers (higher heel). Planning on taking a video next week for a critique.

Squats
Skipped them, tweaked my lower back last week doing something. Needed the extra few days to let it rest.

Bent Over Rows
Went with a wider grip, middle finger on rings.
65 warmup
5x95
5x115
5x135
5x145
4x155
7x115 Might try using the rowing machine, whatever its called (the one where you lean at a 45 degree angle)

So here's my excuse to my absence from the gym....I know no one gives a fuck, but I'm doing it anyway.

Weeks ago (near my last entry) I woke up with pain in my shoulder, could hardly move my arm for days. Went to the athletic therapist, said I strained a few of the smaller muscles in my rotator cuff. I got some exercises to do, couple weeks later its fine. I also wanted him to check out my back as I was complaining of more back pain, progressively getting worse. I had a fractured vertebra when I was 12 and have always had a little bit of pain. He came to the conclusion that my muscles spasmed years ago and haven't been taught how to work properly. More importantly, my core strength and flexibility is horrible. My legs are so tight that they are causing my hips to be pulled down and causing even more discomfort in my back. So Im slowly in the process of getting this shit worked out. Im back on the right track, but today I opted out of deads/squats because of this. Hopefully everything will get better quick.

Bench

My strength is down, but it feels good to be back at the gym. I'll continue with my bulk and hope I continue with the results I was seeing in the fall.
